Which sentence from the excerpt best supports this statement? In the story “The Flying Trunk” by Hans Christian Andersen, the merchant’s son is a careless and thoughtless character who does not understand the value of money. The Flying Trunk by Hans Christian Andersen (excerpt) There was once a merchant who was so rich that he could have paved a whole street with gold, and would even then have had enough left for a small alley. He did not do so; he knew the value of money better than to use it in this way. So clever was he that every shilling he put out brought him a crown, and so it continued as long as he lived. His son inherited his wealth, and lived a merry life with it.He went to a masquerade every night, made kites out of five-pound notes, and threw pieces of gold into the sea instead of stones, making ducks and drakes of them. In this manner he soon lost all his money. At last he had nothing left but a pair of slippers, an old dressing gown, and four shillings. And now all his companions deserted him. They would not walk with him in the streets, but one of them, who was very good-natured, sent him an old trunk with this message, "Pack up!" "Yes," he said, "it is all very well to say 'pack up.'" But he had nothing left to pack, therefore he seated himself in the trunk.

I would say “He went to a masquerade every night, made kites out of five-pound notes, and threw pieces of gold into the sea instead of stones, making ducks and drakes of them.”
shows that he is oblivious and irresponsible, squandering his money freely and literally throwing it away. It is until he ends up with nothing and no one, does he truly understand how lucky he was. (I don’t know if this is more of a there’s only one answer or it doesn’t matter as long as you support it question but I think it’s the best for the statement:)
